NOTE:
Sealer skips or pinholes can be seen along the exposed body seams (1)

NOTE:
A special area of concern is where the windshield and body seams meet at the upper a-pillar (1), which is shown in illustration.
Once the windshield molding is removed, inspect for sealer skips. Apply Mopar Glass Sealer to any skip in the urethane around windshield.
For sealer skips in the A-Pillar body seam apply a Clear Hi-Flow Paintable Seam Sealer.
Prior to re-assembly, re-test the area to ensure it is properly sealed.
Carefully reinstall windshield molding. Refer to WEATHERSTRIP, WINDSHIELD, A-PILLAR, INSTALLATION .
